Support sorted me out. All good now!

Ah, key replacement does not apper to be working. The array recognises the old key file and initiates the replacement process. Hit hitting Replace Key on the registration page opens a pop-up that (after signing in) then says to complete the process by hitting the Finish Key Replacment button in the GUI, but that just opens the same pop-up windows again. I have emailed support with details, so I am sure they will sort me out.

Thanks! Array is back up, data seems fine. I'll get to work on reconfigurations and sorting out the license side of things!

Howdy, been a while, a testament to how well Unraid runs, really... I finally had a USB die. In fact, this USB is a 1GB Sandisk Cruzer pretty much from when I first deployed Unraid. It dates back to at least 2008. It's seen some s%*t. My array started misbehaving, plugins/dockers would not update, so i did a reboot and discovered the fault seems to have been the USB dying. Probably should have replaced that sucker a while ago... Unfortunately, I don't have a recent USB backup. I thought my Crashplan setup was capturing the flash drive but that does not appear to be the case. The most recent USB backup I do have is from 2021 but I know at least a couple of drives have changed and likely a few share, docker and general config settings. I am trying to access the failed USB, but at this stage it will not come up in Windows after trying a few things, so I am not confident. That said, my shares are not that complicated and my dockers are ultimately ephemeral and can be re-configured without too much trouble. I do know my drive order with certainty, so no issues there. As long as I can get the array up, I can re-configure pretty much everything else. I just want to validate what my next steps should be. 1 - Re-install current Unraid to new flash drive 2 - Boot, enter new password to access GUI, assign drives 3 - Start array 4 - Re-configure shares, plugins, docker and other settings 5 - Follow procedure to re-apply license Does that seem corrent? Anything I am missing? When I start the array, should I check the 'Parity is already valid'? I will run a fresh parity check anyway, once I confirm the array is up and data is all present and correct, but should I first start the array with that setting checked, then restart with it unchecked after confirming everything looks good? Also, with license registration, the FAQ says '...install Unraid on the new flash device, boot it up on your server, and then install the old registration key on the new flash (from the Tools > Registration page). From there you can request and then install a replacement key." However, I see nothing in the GUI to install the old registration key (ie I guess the pro1.key file from my 2021 backup?). Am I understanding that right? I feel like I may need to contact support since the registration/license process has probably changed... Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply. Ended up being something simpler - stupid Unraid date has slipped, so could not pull any update info at all from docker or git. Realised when I tried for the Unraid update and got cert errors... Updated Unraid, then the containers, now all good. Cheers!

Silly question, but how do I update the docker container? I am still on...er...sabnzbd 1.0.2 running on Unraid 6.1.9. Unraid has never shown that the container is anything other than up to date: Even if I force update, I don't really get a result: Is my install too old, or am I doing updates wrong? Have the repositories changed? Best to just delete and pull a fresh build? Thanks in advance!

Quick bump to say thanks for the consise guide. Bit the bullet and finally upgraded to 6.1.9 from 5.0.4 tonight without a hitch (well it just booted and my shares are up, so I should be good!). Cheers!
